Golf allows access to the president, and it is also a form of communication the leader uses to send subtle messages to the public.

For years, George Booth was implored by others to "shut up and write a book". And so he did, beginning his first book, Wet Dogs Can't Fly, with the all-important first line: "I found my first dead guy when I was six."
